Daily ward Admit/transfer/discharge ward Binder

• The standard Admission / Transfer / Discharge ward Log Binder that is used and found at the main desk.Some wards write in the details other use a paper label stamped with the addressograph
• The ward also has a scribbler that usually has the names of patients admitted,discharged,transferred and moved.
• The data collector reviews the Admission Binder on each ward, assigns a serial number and enters the minimal data base for all new admissions.
• The admission and discharge "times" are entered as per the Admission binder. Times are corrected once the chart is reviewed.

Information relevant to A4 data collection

• If the Discharge Planning Screening Tool is not found in the chart for a new admission, it will usually be on a clip-board hanging by the door next to the med room (about half-way down the wall). This is done as a reminder for the ward clerk to fax consults on the new admissions first thing in the morning. Once faxed, the tool will be filed back into the chart.--CMarks 10:37, 2013 December 4 (CST)
